Other scores for the Knights included Kate Wrolson with a 224 (104-120), Lexi Poyzer with a 231 (119-112), Libby Poyzer with a 248 (132-116), Lexi Hunter with a 257 (134-123) and Emily Courrier with a 311 (163-148).

“Day 2 of the Section tournament was an exciting and fun one for the Lady Knight golfers,” reported Head Coach Kari Kreft.  “Jessica St. Martin earned a trip to the state tournament to be held in Becker on June 11th and 12th and the team enjoyed a beautiful day golfing together one last time. Sunshine, low 80s and a gentle breeze made for a delightful day of golfing.  The girls allowed themselves the luxury of soaking in the experience and enjoying the game the way it is meant to be played - good company, good weather and the thrill to compete."

Kreft continued, "We are sad to say goodbye to our four seniors; Lexi Poyzer, Libby Poyzer, Kate Wrolson, and Emily Courrier.  These four young ladies are incredible people and will be missed.  They have been our leaders and source of motivation for several years.  They each have their unique talents, are incredibly good students and even better people.  We are excited to see what they will accomplish in the future.  They were so excited for Jessica and what she accomplished today.”
